Here is a look at what the quilt is going to look like. This is one that Dana made last summer I believe and then she GAVE IT AWAY!! I know! My quilt will look a lot like the sample because I am using those same fabrics that I had in my stash. I think that is a bonus! I decided to buy one piece of fabric for the front, the orange with little clusters on it. For some reason I didn't have that one and I only needed a half yard.
Here are my fabrics,Sandi Henderson's Ginger Blossom. I ended up not cutting the striped one. I have more than the required 12 so I am mixing it up more and I think I will do a mixed border with my leftovers.
Here are all my strips ready to go! Well the orange one is missing. That fabric should arrive in the mail today or tomorrow. It will be pretty easy to catch up at that point. I do have that baby quilt to be thinking about in the meantime.
Check out the quilt along and if you don't join at least follow along in Flickr to see all the gorgeous quilts. Many are being made from Paula Prass's Flights of Fancy line. I get so caught up in the quilt I forget that there is a huge giveaway at the end and many great giveaways along the way. If you use the Flights of Fancy line you get more entries. As much as I love that line and see how gorgeous those quilts are going to be I really needed to avoid buying more fabric.
My son just came in with the mail and told me that my new fabric is here!!! Now I can get to cutting strips WOO HOO!
Praise - the weather has cooled off and the temperatures are in the 70's. Much more comfortable!
Prayers - for the group of young people that God would like to be assembled at our home for a study.
Ohh, that is going to be so pretty! Ginger Blossom is beautiful! Glad to see you blogging again. We miss you when you are away! :)

I found your blog through the Sewn giveaway! I am doing the Quilt Along too and I am using the Ginger Blossom fabrics! I just loved the original quilt so I had to order from 3 different online shops to get all my fabric. I love the print on top of your stack, with the different colored dots, but it's backordered so it won't be in my quilt. It's going to be gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteI love your taste...can't wait to see how they both turn out. Mine might be slightly different in the end though because I will need to make it a bit bigger for a twin bed...not sure how I will do that. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteI love the fabrics you're using!
ReplyDeleteI can't wait to see the result!
